Default Car wont start......

Ok last night, I was on the way home and I stoped at a stop light. Light turned green and I started to go and right after I shifted into second my car stalled and stopped running. Pushed it over to the side of the road. Tried to start it and it just cranked. Got it towed home and tried to rule out the problem. Fuel pump kicks on, I have spark,changed the plugs and wires, put gas into the intake manni,and checked the timming. It seems its not getting any fuel.. Not sure what it is.Please help. Thanks in advance..

lol get a mechanic? That defeats the purpose of being on this board! lol

So you think your not getting fuel... did you check all the fuses? Grounds? It sounds like you have a bad ignitor box in the distributor, but you said you have spark so thats rules that out....

pull your injectors out and get a dry rag and sit them on it and crank car for a sec to see if any fuel comes out of them.

Does the car try to run when you put fuel in the intake manifold?? Starting fluid is better to test this than fuel.. Get something with ether in it. If it does run on ether then I would say its time to check for fuel pressure. That is if you are sure the pump is turning on. If you don't have the tools to check for fuel pressure I agree with civictildeath that you should pull the fuel rail ( with the injectors in it) and see if you get fuel when you crank the engine. Its probably a bad pump or filter if it will run on ether. Good luck dude!!

check the compression on all four cylinders just to be sure that you have none

next you need to locate the compression leak. theres multiple ways to check this, long and drawn out. make sure all the spark plugs are tight before you do anything. if there not torqued correctly the aluminum head will expand and contract enough to back the plugs out

If the ECU were bad enough to cause a completely dead engine, you wouldnt be getting any fuel through the injectors and probably no spark either.

Is it possible your timing belt broke, as this will make you think the engine just stalled but it wont run n matter what.

If you did break the T belt then your valves are bent.

Take off the top timing belt cover and then turn the engine.

According to the Honda Engineers who built the engine, YES it is always true.
